Description

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with a bright and gold-like appearance. It is similar to bronze, another alloy containing copper that uses tin instead of zinc. Historically, the distinction between the two alloys has been less consistent and clear, and modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the more general "copper alloy".

These reference values are based on the most accurate data available at the time and are continually updated as new measurements become available. Depending on the material and the property you're after, there's more or less variability to take into account. Use these values as a starting point, or as validation for existing materials, and then tweak further using your artistic freedom.
